2. R-colored vowel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-colored_vowel

   An r-colored or rhotic vowel (also called a retroflex vowel, vocalic r, or a rhotacized vowel) is a vowel that is modified in a way that results in a lowering in frequency of the third formant. [1] R-colored vowels can be articulated in various ways: the tip or blade of the tongue may be turned up during at least part of the articulation of the ...

3. Voiced dental, alveolar and postalveolar trills - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_dental,_alveolar...

   Quite often, r is used in phonemic transcriptions (especially those found in dictionaries) of languages like English and German that have rhotic consonants that are not an alveolar trill.

7. Linking and intrusive R - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linking_and_intrusive_R

   The phenomenon of intrusive R is a reinterpretation [11] [12] of linking R into an r-insertion rule that affects any word that ends in the non-high vowels /ə/, /ɪə/, /ɑː/, or /ɔː/; [13] when such a word is closely followed by another word beginning in a vowel sound, an /r/ is inserted between them, even when no final /r/ was historically ...
